Schizophrenia is one of the most mysterious diseases of the human mind. On the one hand, this ailment has been known for a long time, it has been studied and described. But on the other hand, quite often this term refers to any mental disorder of an incomprehensible nature, that is, what causes bewilderment among doctors.
Of course, it is hardly possible to cure schizophrenia by prayer, because such miracles of healing require an incredibly strong faith in the Lord, and in modern realities it is extremely difficult to find. But this does not mean that prayer is not necessary. Appeal to the saints or the Lord helps to cope with experiences and alleviates the suffering of both the patient himself and his relatives, gives confidence and strength.
To whom and how to pray?
Traditionally, prayer from schizophrenia is addressed to St. Matrona of Moscow, Panteleimon and Nicholas the Wonderworker. Of course, they ask for help from other saints, the Mother of God, the Lord himself.
In order to ask for healing, relief, it is not at all necessary to attend church or to memorize long and obscure texts. You can pray anywhere at a convenient time.
However, if you have the opportunity to visit the temple, you should not pray outside its walls. A special atmosphere reigns in the churches, which not only enhances the energetic message of prayer, but also has a calming, pacifying effect on a person. And this is extremely important in any life situation, but it is especially important when experiencing problems with mental health.
As for the text, prayer from schizophrenia is no different from other requests that people make to the saints and to the Lord. When praying, it’s important not the words that a person says, but the mental attitude. One must ask for healing with deep faith in the power of the Lord, with hope and without a shadow of doubt. Praying requires full concentration from the person. Therefore, it is important not only to put aside all vain thoughts and everyday worries, but also to understand the words of the text.
Is it obligatory to pray out loud?
The church does not impose any restrictions on prayers. You can turn to the saints or the Lord for help in the way that is convenient for a person in need. Of course, there are no prescriptions on how to address Heaven - aloud or to yourself.
Many people are embarrassed to beg the saints for help in healing a spiritual illness in the temple, pronouncing the text aloud. Even if the room is empty, the nervousness, fear that someone will hear about the misfortune that has happened, does not leave the prayer. Of course, this condition does not allow you to concentrate on your own request. A prayer said in such a stressful environment does not bring healing from schizophrenia, it does not even fill the soul with peace and tranquility. Therefore, if, for any reason, asking for help, pronouncing the text out loud, is uncomfortable, you should pray to yourself.
Is it possible to pray in my own words?
This question sooner or later becomes relevant for every believer. On the one hand, old texts, which have been used by many generations, dispose to themselves, inspire confidence. On the other hand, it is much easier to turn to the Almighty or saints in your own words.
A significant drawback of ancient texts is the abundance of words in them, long out of everyday use, hard to pronounce and completely incomprehensible to modern man. Using such a text, the worshiper involuntarily focuses his attention not on prayer at all, but on whether he speaks and remembers her words correctly. Of course, such a prayer from schizophrenia will not bring healing and will not help. A strong energetic, sincere, heartfelt request made in ordinary words will be much more effective.
There are no church prescriptions for what prayer should be. You should seek help with hope and deep faith, doing it as your heart tells you.
